Sugar Free Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
This delicious and healthy recipe for Sugar Free Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars can be made vegan, low carb, keto, or gluten free.
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
- see post for alternatives
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ cup Butter
- see post for alternatives
- ¾ cup Splenda
- 1 cup Sugar Free Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg
- see post for alternatives
- ¾ cup Sugar Free Jam - see post for details, can use jelly
- ¾ cup Salted Peanuts -slightly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325. Prep an 8X8 or similar sized baking pan with parchment or foil that hangs over the edges for later transporting. Lightly spray this with nonstick.
- In a medium bowl, whisk or sift the flour and the baking powder. You can set this bowl aside.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, cream together the butter with the sugar alternative.
- Once the ingredients in the mixer are creamed together you can add the sugar free peanut butter, vanilla and eggs.
- For the next step, we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl. Do this by adding half of the dry ingredients at a time, stirring gently between additions. Once combined you can divide the mixture in half. Place one of the halves into the freezer and then evenly spread the reaming mixture (a rubber spatula or your hands work well here) on the pan that you prepared in the first step.
- Next, spread the jelly over the dough that you have spread on your pan. Then take the remaining dough from the freezer and break off small pieces or chunks to place on top of the jelly layer. Lastly, sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the bars.
- Bake your bars for 45-50 minutes or until they begin to brown. Allow the bars to cool before you cut them. Also, use the parchment that hangs over the edges to remove the bars from the pan for cutting.
